Retrofit of RC Hollow Piers with CFRP Sheets

Hollow bridge piers, particularly those built before the seventies, often have insufficient shear capacity due to inadequate transverse reinforcement details. Therefore, special attention must be given to this very important aspect when reinforced concrete (RC) piers with hollow sections are analysed and retrofitted. This paper covers the experimental analysis of retrofit solutions using CFRP sheets along the p...

Assessment of the statistical distributions of structural demand under earthqua...

Practical aspects of demand and capacity evaluation of RC members in the contex...

The structural safety assessment procedures proposed in Part 3 of Eurocode 8 (EC8-3) for the case of reinforced concrete structures are addressed. The practical evaluation of the member chord rotation demand according to EC8-3 is examined in detail along with several alternative formulations. The need for these formulations is demonstrated by presenting example situations where the EC8-3 proposal is difficult t...

An empirical power comparison of univariate goodness-of-fit tests for normality

A comprehensive power comparison study of existing tests for normality is proposed. Given the importance of this subject and the widespread development of normality tests, comprehensive descriptions and power comparisons of such tests are of considerable interest. Since recent comparison studies do not include several interesting and more recently developed tests, a further comparison of normality tests is cons...

A comparative application of different EC8-3 procedures for the seismic safety ...

An application of the EC8-3 procedure for safety assessment is presented herein. Besides testing the applicability of the code procedure, this application aims to assess the consistency of the safety assessment results that are obtained. Based on the application of the EC8-3 procedure, the study assesses if the different methods of analysis that are permitted lead to similar safety results and identifies the fa...

Modelação de pilares ocos de betão armado e influência dos efeitos de corte na ...

O comportamento cíclico de pilares de pontes de betão armado é reconhecidamente influenciado pelo corte. Isso é particularmente visível em pilares ocos onde, frequentemente, o mecanismo de deformação e rotura é dominado pelo esforço transverso. Dado que os códigos de dimensionamento são geralmente conservativos na avaliação desses efeitos este trabalho pretende apresentar a influência do corte na resposta numér...
